Deke's Liner Notes (originally written in leaky fountain pen, and crudely reproduced in minature on the inside of the CD booklet).

Well, we're back together again. Bet you thought you'd seen the last of us. I thought I'd seen the last of us. Well, we were all wrong. Now maybe this event will send you into peroxisms of delight which will eulminate in balloons, sausage rolls, street parties and long periods of exstatic oblivion, or maybe it will send you into vile black moods, despair, depression and pathalogical hate which culminate in you hoofing down to the iron mongers to buy a chainsaw and looking up our addresses in the phone book and then coming round to our homes and performing some amateur surgery and we'd end up scattered all over the world under hedgerows in black plastic ba3gs, or maybe it will fill you with a supernatural indifference. Either way it doesn't matter because we're back. The die is cast.

I'd better tell you about the Record. The 13th Man Line up is as follows . . . Micky Jones who's been in every line up . . . . Martin Ace who's been in and out a few times . . . . . John Weathers who hasn't been in any of the line ups . . . and me who's left once, been sacked once by the treacherous slimes who now comprise half the present line up. One thing I've learnt in this ba3nd is always sit with your back to the wall. Wild Bill Hickock was right all along.

I'd better tell you about the record before I get sacked again. The album was recorded live at the Marquee Arms on Friday the 13th of June 1983 by Trillion Video Facilities under the guiding hand of Director Derek Goldman. The Album was produced by the Man band. it was mixed at the Music Center Wembley. The engineer was Peter Wandless. The album was cut at Portland Studios by the King . . . George 'Porky' Peckham. Album design was by Hudson McCleeve.

We would like to thank the following people for their considerable help. To all at John Sherry Enterprises with a special Gold Star to Dave Betteridge and John himself, Robin Greatrex, Uve Tessnow, Paul Darden, Mel Hopton, Seanhire Steve Delaney and for no apparent reason, John Eichler.

Talk About A Morning

Well that's it. Now you know as much about the record as I do. We hope to see you soon.

Good luck
Deke
